Episode 29 – Descartes pt. 2

On this episode of the podcast, we continue our three-part series on Rene Descartes. First, we discuss the obvious but unprovable superiority of fresh-caught tuna to Chicken of the Sea and how this parallels the divide between the continental rationalists and the British empiricists. Next, we learn about Descartes’ early life and how he essentially became Steve Jobs with neck ruffles. Finally, we examine the difference between people who avoid the boulder and those who find a way to demolish it. All this and more on the latest episode of Philosophize This!

If you were interested in Descartes and his ability to innovate and Steve Jobs-esque ability to disrupt what was normal at the time, consider checking out one of my favorite books that talks all about habits that make you demolish meaningless obstacles and set you up for Steve Jobs-esque levels of success. It is called The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and if you are interested, I wrote a review of it.
